Or this change is planned, and then it leaves plenty of time to have governance issues and social attacks like: "Bitcoin without SHA-256 is not Bitcoin, blah blah blah"
Idk
If social attacks mattered, then we wouldn't be here. ;)
Id say many are fearful,scared of change and the risks associated As for merge mining with an old fork,no One of the main reasons Myspace died, Scalability, btc will die eventually too
The stupidity runs so fucking deep, it's lucky I already lost all hope in humanity when BSCore successfully hijacked BTC using retarded narratives and censorship.
It takes a very long time in crypto to understand all the little details, many just dont have the time or desire to put in the effort to keep learning.
If J&R wanted to change the algo for long term safety, they would still have BCH and so would we....as long as devs and community are in general consensus.
I think merge mining won't float this boat and we should concentrate on breaking free rather than tying ourselves more to the BTC scheme. SHA256 voted already and their vote is BTC.
The same with the crippling 1MB limit, it is wise to solve these things before they become a problem. Changing the hash algo should be the #1 focus currently.
